So this is where I overcame my fear of heights. The fear itself was not considered a phobia of mine but I have ALWAYS had an irrational fear of "The Swing set ride" since I saw one at a local fair.

So wouldn't it be by chance that the mother of all sadistic fears has chosen 6 Flags Agawam for this! A 400 foot high spinning ride that offers fabulous views of the pioneer valley, I might add. But is staring me down from across the park, waiting for me.

This is a 60 second ride. Up in 30, down in 30. Longest of my life on the way up and ironically the shortest on my way down. Highly recommend.

Cleanest park you'll ever visit. Very friendly staff. Clear directions up front as you enter the park as where to go, how to do it, or how much it cost. This will not and I repeat not an inexpensive affair. Go to their website and get the scoop on all of their packages and all your options up front. A game day decision here will just make you confused as a new visitor.

One complaint, sorry. Ridiculous lines for food! I mean, you just got off a ride and you realize that you could in fact eat " the gum off the sidewalk" hungry and wait 45 minutes TO ORDER! Dear God please throw me a bone here, literally!

Enjoy
